CNN tries their best to be neutral, and I'm not complimenting them. Because of their lame duck attitude they often will throw soft balls to all
republicans because they are so afraid of being attacked by right, which is ironic because they are viciously attacked by the right regardless. But,
stop crying that they only air negative stories about Trump because what positive stories has he actually provided them? From day one, his campaign
has been a poop show and that's exactly the way he likes it.

Trump has gotten more free coverage via every MSM outlet than any other candidate and it clearly has benefited him greatly. In return, all the outlets
have made millions upon millions in ad revenue which benefits them greatly. Trump and the MSM love each other and to think otherwise is completely
ignorant.

To say CNN barely covers Clinton is a complete lie and if you're gonna tell me when they do cover her it's all sunshine and kittens to you I say, stop
with BS.

Well on the upside we get to clearly see which sides the different MSM's support, to such degree that it's difficult to not see that they're biases.
It's kind of like watching cartoon villain taking off their mask after a long mono log and they've finally gone off the deep end.

This is undoubtedly true but the problem is that the non-MSM is even more biased and partisan. What we appear to be seeing now is a hardening of
extreme opinions on both ends of the political spectrum with less and less middle ground. In the end it feels like a loss for the country as a whole
because without considered consensus there can't be any real progress.

The fact that Donald Trump even has a shot in this election, speaks volumes about what an absolute joke Hillary Clinton is. America loses.

Blame Clinton for those who support Trump?

You know as well as I do, that if the Republicans had a real candidate that Hillary would be getting crushed right now. This thing would have been
over last month. I'm talking about a 20+ point lead in all states and polls. If this was Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio, Hillary would be up
against the ropes right now with snot bubbles coming out of her nose and two black eyes.

However, on that same token, if the Dems had a real candidate it would be vice versa. Sanders would be destroying Trump right now.

It's about sending a message, and that message is that the Democrats have been ignoring legitimate complaints for years by just completely denigrating
the non-party hardliners with insults.

So you gotta deal with Trump as punishment for not being more diplomatic and open minded.

Whatever happens happens. The Democrats created this by going way too far with the BS...

Nice deflection: blame others for the creation of your own monster.

One man's BS is another man's Just Society. Apparently.

Trump is to blame for Trump, and all those who enable him now are to blame for their role in supporting a budding authoritarian tyrant.

That being said, I hear the anger. I understand it. This is a portion of the population giving the middle finger to the world in the form of Mr Trump.
It is a crude gesture and he is a crude person.

There is a segment of people who have still been left behind, who are suffering economically to a greater degree, whose pride has been battered and
who see the world changing in ways that they find repugnant.

(This has to do, in part, with a need for the 2008 recession recovery to reach more segments of the population. A focused effort must be made. )

The world will change, with or without them, however, they need to be given the opportunity to rise economically and to take care of their families,
they need to have pride in their communities and themselves. It cannot come at the expense of vulnerable people, but it should happen nonetheless,
regardless of who has the Presidency.

Robert and Rebekah Mercer—the father-daughter duo spending millions to boost right-wing candidates—have substantial clout in the Trump
campaign. While most Republican mega-donors have stayed away from Trump, Mercer and Co. are all in for him.

Robert Leroy Mercer (born July 11, 1946)[1] is an American computer scientist and co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund.[1][2] He
is a major donor to conservative political causes.[3] Mercer has donated to Super PACs affiliated with Freedom Partners, Club for Growth Action, and
John R. Bolton.[1][3]

The man is a legit Wall Street billionaire, unlike Trump, and he was behind Ted Cruz in the beginning. Do you wanna know why Ted Cruz recently
endorsed Trump? The answer is Robert Mercer, who was Cruz's biggest donor, like 12 million large type donor. You think Cruz is gonna get continued
support from Robby if he doesn't endorse Trump?

Robery Mercer is also one of the main investors for Breitbart and shockingly enough not long after Trump accepted the Mercer's into his campaign
Breitbarts chairman became CEO of Trump's campaign, w/e the hell that is.

Same with Kellyanne Conway. Mercer's put her in charge and Trump's campaign has definitely done much better with her but Trump being the buffoon he is
even she has difficulty keeping him in line.

What is/are the metric/s for winning or losing these Presidential "debates"?

How does anyone quantify what is said or not said?

Someone please provide an objective means to decide which one on that stage would make a better Executive.

How 'bout this: For all the Hillary and Trump supporters out there, I dare you.

Outside of subjective mud slinging what do we have? Nada. Please make me eat some crow. Prove I'm wrong. Educate me. Let me finally see what must be
obvious to those enlighten souls claiming all the moral high ground.

*Sorry OP if this seems like some drift but on page 14, where else we gonna' go?

How do you figure? Trump beat all them and Hillary is beating trump . Logically she would beat all of them.
